This is the riser specifically designed for a Cisco Raid controller. This specific riser was pulled from a Cisco UCS C220 M5 1U server.
Notes
- Genuine Cisco OEM mRAID riser for the UCS C220 M5 server.
- Used to install Cisco modular RAID controllers without consuming a standard PCIe expansion slot.
- Supports Cisco UCS RAID controller options such as the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller family (model-dependent).
- Connects directly to the motherboard through the dedicated mRAID connector.
- Provides the physical mounting location for the RAID controller and associated cabling.
- Allows the server to use hardware RAID functionality while preserving PCIe slots for other expansion cards.
- Required when configuring certain C220 M5 storage options that use a modular RAID controller.
- Not interchangeable with standard PCIe risers.
- Specific RAID controller and backplane compatibility depends on the C220 M5 storage configuration (SAS/SATA backplane type and drive count).
- OEM Cisco part ensures proper mechanical fit, connector alignment, and airflow within the chassis.
- Includes the riser assembly only; RAID controller, battery backup unit, cables, and storage backplane are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
